Library Shop Mission Hills is celebrating its Grand Opening, December 1 – 7!
Our second store revitalizes the former Mission Hills Library branch. Closed since 2019, shelves at 925 W. Washington Street will once again be filled with books, recommendations, and literary delights. Celebrations continue all week long with events, author visits, storytimes, discount deals, and games. Proceeds support all 37 branches of the San Diego Public Library.
In honor of our second Library Shop location in San Diego, we are welcoming readers for 7 days of events and celebration starting on December 1.
